Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting [W:977, 1014]

Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

Sure it does, if you need it when the govt stops listening to the People and turns against it. Would definitely come in handy. Handier than a musket.

An AK-47 will do you no good when the government has tanks and drones.

The truth is the government has a lot more power and resources than you. If they want to label you as a terrorist/criminal, they can. No matter who your lawyer is.

Maybe not for you. You don’t speak for the rest of us.

Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

the general demographic of the crowd targeted are typically pro gun...

The demographic of people who commit most crimes with guns is different from the demographic of people who were killed in Las egas, so you have to look twice if you want to sell a gun to some high risk "demographics".

Sandy Hook was the tipping point, as a country, we are blasé about our young folks getting shot down with auto weapons, there is no easy answer. Perhaps it is time to revise the wording of the second amendment, in its current form, it is not working in modern day America. The Vegas shooter had 10 guns, all legal who knows, bit no one needs 10 guns !!

Indeed so.....The founding fathers would have never allowed crazed citizens to easily obtain weapons of mass destruction in the guise of "self defense" or over throwing the very government they created
 
Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

What would propose that would have prevented this guy and the Sandy Hook killer?

GUN CONTROL, CLIMATE CHANGE POLICIES, EQUAL PAY, SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE, AND AMNESTY, THAT'S WHAT!!! Was there any Leftist policy I missed?

We need to do something. Something does not include - people shoot people, there is nothing we can do to change that.

Imagine if slaves had that same mentality.
 
Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

What makes you so sure they werent semi-auto?

Fully automatic weapons are illegal in the US. You can re-engineer them and make them fully auto...also illegal.

I doubt it was fully auto and am waiting to hear. Fully auto just adds to the highly emotional rhetoric.

It was definitely fully automatic, sounded like an sks.

Outside of law enforcement or the Military there is NO sane reason anybody should be allowed legally to possess this type of weapon...It seems insane some states allow them

Somehow, I want our country to be free from this kind of violence. That is real freedom.

Were all ten of the shooters guns legal ?
 
Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

Wow. Felons lose many rights and one of them should be the right to bear arms.

The right to vote is a more important right than bearing arms. A felon should have neither.

No most states give back the right to vote after they have completed their.full sentence Including probation/parole and any monetary obligations.
Now voting is not a constitutional right, however owning a gun is. Why is it okay to let someone vote but not give his right to hunt and.shoot after he has paid his debt to society?

The results speak for themselves.....Somewhere ISIS terrorists, North Korean thugs and Russian oligarchs must be smiling...Americans will terrorize themselves all we have to do is sit back and watch...They've made it sooo easy

The idea people have the right to own a machine gun or ak-47 is absurd.

Nobody "needs" those type of weapons. These gun zealots can argue for the need of a pistol or rifle.... but a freakiin Machine gun?
 
Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

Its not just Dems looking for common sense gun control. seems like a no brainer to me, unless one is a gun hugger.

Becuase they committed a serious crime???

What are you going to argue next. That teacher's guilty of child molestation should have a path to eventually teach children again after serving time?

It really seems crazy and bizarre....This shooter was a de ranged fool who no doubt had NO problem acquiring these weapons legally under Nevada law...Maybe he made some small adjustments...maybe not ...Now dozens are dead by allowing him to do so...That seems insane in itself...America needs to Wake up!
 
Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

What I want to know is, when are we as a nation finally going to stand up against these people who keep getting in the way of other people's bullets? I know I'm not alone when I say the NRA is going to get a pretty nice sized donation today from yours truly, yes sir.
Good question. Perhaps that the victims are country music fans, who typically may have pro-gun beliefs, it will make a difference. I thought for sure that after kindergarten and first graders were killed at Sandy hook, the outrage would certainly tip the scale. I was wrong.

Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

Where does that stop? Do we need armed security at Chuck E Cheese?

Is requiring armed security everywhere really what we want when we say we want to be free?

How does armed security make people not free?

Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

as I noted, she's gleeful. the "greater good" collectivists often see the deaths of innocents as a benefit when you can use their deaths to advance the malignancy of the gun ban collectivist movement. Until we get more information, calls for any "remedies" is stupid

remember all those bannerrhoid politicians who screamed for waiting periods and background checks after SandyHook even though the killer murdered his own mother to get guns she had registered, undergone a background check and waited to buy? the fact is-gun banners don't care about the facts of a case, if there are dead innocents, that's good enough for some of them to start howling for erosion of our freedoms even though such schemes invariably wouldn't have stopped the killing

I’m not sure how banning firearms while simultaneously opening borders to anyone and everyone is supposed to work.

Go for it. If what you say is true, get the Constitution amended.

Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

The experiment has gone on long enough. Mass shootings, accidents, suicide, criminals have open access to firearms. It's been a disaster and it's time to cut our losses and move in a sane direction.

Then actually try. Start a movement to amend the Constitution. Get back to me on how well that’s progressing.

There was outrage. At the little brats who were killed. That's why I and many other good Americans made sure to open our wallets for the NRA as soon as possible.

"ALBANY — Donations to the National Rifle Association soared in the aftermath of the Newtown, Conn., school massacre, new filings show.

Contributions and grants to the NRA in 2013 totaled $96.4 million, up 11.5% from the $86.4 million raised the previous year, according to the latest financial disclosure form filed by the gun group with the IRS.

The money poured in as Congress and states, including New York, debated gun control measures following the massacre in 2012 of 20 children and six instructors at Sandy Hook Elementary School by a crazed gunman in December 2012."

The shooter was a de-ranged fool...Who easily obtained high powered weapons...Of mass destruction...Now you see some (far too many for my taste) defending his right to do so...Because of bizarre a interputation of the Constitution...and I though Islamic extremists were crazy over there bizarre interpretation of the Koran to justify their atrocities
